Those things will be a regular replacement item, especially if you have kids who use the back seat all the time like I do.

I got my first replacement from a stealer. I went to Pelican for the next one ($45 or so, IIRC).

No affiliation, etc.

Another alternative is to use a washer on the outside of the cover to support the screw head. ( Couldn't find a dealer that listed the covers.) Having black washers is also helpful.

smh you are a genius! thought about that approach and given the prices (even at sunset) thats the way I'm gonna go. hopefully the screws won't break through with the washers!

smh, I hate to be a buzz kill but I have the washers on my covers and they still wind up breaking. Instead of breaking by creating a hole around the screw they crack around the washer. I don't know of any real bullet proof fix. Probably a better option than without the washers however. Good luck.
